TIRE PRESSURE
Inappropriate tire pressure is a primary cause for
tire damage. Insufficient tire pressure will
damage internal carcass of tire. Repeated
excessive bending will damage or break the
carcass. Excessive pressure will also cause
premature damage of tire.

cooled)

Continuous operation will produce heat and

phenomenon was already taken into account
when designing a tire. Do not try to remove
normally increased air because tires may be
crushed or overinflated.
The three major causes for excessive heat and
pressure of tire are insufficient pressure,
excessive load and overspeed. Avoid excessive
load and overspeed in order to keep tires in
good shape.
Do not inflate tires using flammable gases or
alcohol injector.
This cause explosion or personal injury.
Inflate tires at the pressure level recommended
by the manufacturer, and check periodically
pressure and wear of tires.
When replacing the inflated tire, do not stand
near the tire.
Check the tire when the tire is at normal
temperature and the truck is not loaded.
